qengine

By removing specific gameplay code like enemies and weapons, qengine provides a clean slate for building standalone games, reducing initial complexity and overhead.

With minimal dependencies and single executables for client and server, compiling is straightforward using CMake, as shown in the build instructions, enhancing portability.

The software renderer delivers a pixelated 1997-era look, and the 256-color palette system enforces creative constraints that foster nostalgic authenticity, as emphasized in the philosophy.

Includes utilities like qbsp3 for mapping and pcx2wal for textures, facilitating the asset pipeline without external dependencies, as listed in the tools section.
